I think they might find it more difficult to trust. But if they end up showing you the real person inside, then it might be worth it. :)

@Dan193 Can I ask why you posted the question in the first place? I'm guessing because of some experience you're currently having, is it right?
I'm simply speaking from a reader/writer's perspective. Being a friend is being a friend. You adjust to help the other person and stop him/her from making bad decisions which can harm him/her. You like experiencing things together and telling each other about your day. In return, he/she does the same for you. But imagine if that friend suddenly becomes popular. This can mean many other people would want to be friends with him/her, not necessarily because they see him/her as the person he/she is, but because they admire him/her. They could even see him/her as an idol, a role model. The difference is that there are people who'd be there for you because you're you (regardless if you're famous or not). While there are people who'll be interested in you because you're "popular." You're lucky if you meet a good friend when you're popular. It can happen. But the concern exists as to why those people would be your friend. To trust them, you'll need to know the whys.
